Wind and solar capacity in south-east Asia climbs 20% in just one

Offshore wind now accounts for 2GW of the operating 9GW of utility-scale wind capacity in the region. Given the technical challenges and associated higher costs of offshore wind, this is particularly noteworthy, GEM states. Vietnam has by far the most utility-scale solar and wind capacity of all the ASEAN nations, as seen in the chart below.

A Race to the Top Southeast Asia 2024: Operating solar and wind

The growth of renewables across the region is impressive, but so much more can be achieved. With the world now aiming to triple renewables capacity by 2030, governments need to make it easier to bring wind and solar power online. Switching to renewables now from coal and gas will save countries time and money on the path to a clean energy future.
